Monday, April 2nd, I got a personal message from Jinty Darkwatch. She told me that HeAdLiGhTs, a place that I reported about back in 2016 (read here) is closed. As HeAdLiGhTs was European and had regular music events, Jinty brought to my attention, that she opened a place named “Shades of Emotion“, which is also European with live music and live singers and that offers also areas for roleplay and other fun.
On Thursday afternoon, April 5th, Jenny and I went over to Shades of Emotion to explore it. It is on a sky platform and the landmark leads you directly to the dancefloor. The club area is huge, there’s not just the large dance floor and quite some boards. There’re also places to sit and for dice and cards games nearby. Jinty herself was present as well as Lady Harcassle, who welcomed us. Lady Harcassle owns the sim, Jinty Darkwatch owns Shades of Emotion.
Jenny and I went exploring the sim on our own first, later Lady Harcassle gave us a short tour. Shades of Emotion is open to the public but still developing and some areas are not fully finished yet. Besides the large event area, that dominates the place, there are a lot of nice places to sit, to meet and to chat in the park surrounding the club. At one side is a long row of stores, that is not yet rented out.
Very impressive is a meeting area outside next to artificial water falls and fountains.

Adjacent to the event area is the club house. The ground floor of it is not yet finished, but the basement is already built and furnished. There’s all you’d expect in an adult sim, there’s a room for medical play and water sports, a rubber room, a room with cells (not yet finished), and a large clubroom, that Jinty called the “pampering room”.
At the end of our short tour Lady Harcassle invited us to join the Shades of Emotion group and I’ll share the group description “BDSM explore areas, great hang club called Shades of Emotion, to relax, r/p, explore or just watch the show and listen to good music, live DJ and life music each day. Wonderful world of pony play, Lilac Mountain Ranch – come have fun“

Any place in Second Life lives from the people who use and visit it. Shades of Emotion has all it needs to become such a place. You should give it a try and visit, as Lady Harcassle expressed it “Come have fun”.
I myself hope to find the time to have a look at it again.
